Meaning of caba¿uelas by Felipe Lorenzo del Río

CABA uelas is incorrectly written and should be written as "cabañuelas" being its meaning:?
Old system of prediction, the annual time for months based on the meteorology of the 6 last day of the outgoing year and 6 first next year. 6 latter-day predicted chronologically backward the last 6 months of the following year: December 31 determined it would be like the weather for the month of July, the 30th August represented next and so on. In addition 1 January it predicted which would make in the month of June, day 2 valued what he would do in the month of May and so on. The prediction would be generally the type: the day was rainy, then the month will be rainy. I think that it did not work never looks like a system that doesn't have much logic. Anyway the old de Aliste say already not governing las cabañuelas, now everything is altered.
